The Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center is the first state-owned and operated comprehensive rehabilitation center in the country. Staff at WWRC provide training and therapy to people with disabilities to enable them to re-enter the work force and live more independently.

The Center provides vocational training and medical interventions for people with disabilities to assist them in obtaining employment and to live more independently. WWRC exists to provide the skills and supports necessary to enable these people to accomplish greater independence and achieve competitive employment.

For sixty years, WWRC has been making a difference in people's lives. We enjoy a strong heritage of service to people with disabilities in the Commonwealth of Virginia dating back to 1947 when our first clients were admitted. Since that time the Center has served more than 70,000 clients.

The Center is very closely connected to the Virginia Department of Rehabilitative Services and most notably it's Field Rehabilitation Services (FRS) Division. The partnership between WWRC and FRS places the highest priority on helping consumers develop, pursue and complete a "Roadmap for Success." Ultimately, the Center and FRS view themselves as integral components of the Agency's approach to teamwork with a focus on client's successes. Along with our Agency partners and through involving people with disabilities, community agencies and related programs, the Center provides opportunities for a brighter, more productive, higher quality of life for consumers. The Center assists people with disabilities as they transition to higher levels of productivity and independence.

What makes WWRC a comprehensive rehabilitation center is the mix of the services and programs that it offers to people with disabilities. It is through the unique combination of vocational, medical, psychological, residential, and recreational programs and services and the interaction between the staff and the consumer that makes WWRC comprehensive. The total combination is greater than the sum of its parts and the mutual creativity, energy and accomplishments through working together are unsurpassed.
